No
The summary describes a simple syringe and a laser alignment system, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is a syringe used for injecting or retracting fluids, which is a diagnostic or procedural tool, not a therapeutic device meant to treat or cure a disease. The laser alignment system improves accuracy, but the core function is fluid management.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a syringe for injecting or retracting fluids, which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one. While it mentions accuracy with a laser alignment system, this is related to the precision of fluid delivery, not the identification or assessment of a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Single use disposable syringe," which is a physical hardware component. It also mentions being used with a "DRTS™ Laser Alignment System" and a "Light Saber™ Syringe," further indicating hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into, or retract fluids from the body." This describes a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes within the body, not for examining samples outside the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status. This device does not fit that description.

The additional information about the laser alignment system and accuracy further reinforces that this is a device used for procedures performed directly on the patient, not for laboratory testing of samples.
